The one in front of him, of course, is the demon heir and ninja master Lei Xiaogu. Roy had seen him, and he was confident that he should not be mistaken. And even if he confessed to being wrong, Talia, the daughter of the ninja master, would have no reason to point the wrong finger at her father.

But no matter what you say, Lei Xiaogu has changed too much in just such a short period of time.

If not long ago Lei Xiaogu still gave people the feeling of being an energetic old bone who seemed to have squandered his energy despite the appearance of an old man, then the current Lei Xiaogu looked like a real old man. His skin was crumpled, like a rag that had dried without smoothing it.

Behind Lei Xiaogu, the pool that emitted a faint green light was the Lhasa Road Pool, the spring-giving spring of resurrection. At this moment, many conduits filled with green liquid and connected to the power supply are being connected to the pool water, constantly exchanging liquids into the pool.

"What happened to you?" Roy asked with a frown.

Lei Xiaogu trembled and held his sword, stood up like an old man on crutches, and said, "As you can see, my qi is almost exhausted. ”

"But Lhasa Road Pool"

Indeed, Lhasalus Pool has a powerful ability to give life to people, and theoretically it can be reborn no matter how many times you experience death. As long as there is this miraculous pool water, no matter what form of injury or aging of the human body is not a problem.

However, now, Lei Xiaogu looked like an ordinary old man in his last years, as if he would fall down when the wind blew.

"I've lived for hundreds of years." Lei Xiaogu said slowly, "I can't count how many times I used the Lhasa Road Pool during this period. If Detective Batman ever told you, you should know that this pool is not for nothing. ”

"He will eat away at your mind and eat your reason." Roy said, "Yes, I know. ”

"Until now, I felt like I was in control." Lei Xiaogu said, "And so far I've done quite well. But the number of times I use the spring water is a little too much for me. ”

"If you want me to say, your mind has been corroded beyond corrosive." Roy said unceremoniously.

Lei Xiaogu seemed unimpressed by his disrespect, and continued: "My body and spirit are also on the verge of limit, maybe the heavens can no longer tolerate a person's soul continuing to overdraft and live. So, I think maybe it's time for me to complete my replacement. ”

Roy seemed to realize something, and asked coldly, "So that's why you brought me here?" ”

"I've been ready for the handover for a long time, just like every ninja master before me has gone through." Lei Xiaogu continued, "I have already made my choice. My man is almost impeccable, and in my opinion he has the potential to become the best ninja master in the history of the League of Assassins. But again, he was unprecedentedly stubborn, so I had to wait patiently until now."

Roy knew that he was referring to Batman.

"But I don't have time to wait any longer." Lei Xiaogu said, "At this time, you appeared. My daughter Talia assures me that you are also of the highest quality, both mentally and behind you. We've been following you for a long time, and after various audits, we've finally determined that you're qualified. ”

Roy snorted, "That's flattering, but I don't remember when I applied for this position." ”

"We've expected that, too, but I'm not asking for it." Thunder Sky Ancient Road.

"Even so, it's between us." Roy said, "Don't get Barbara involved. ”

"Rest assured, she's safe and sound, at least so far." Lei Xiaogu said, "This is the first test for you. We've captured her in Arkham City and forced you to use all your power to track her down. And now, you're here -- and you live up to my daughter's expectations. ”

"So you're saying it's just a perverted exam?"

Lei Xiaogu shrugged: "But don't think that you passed like this, you still have the last part unfinished." ”

"Why do you think I'm going to do what you say?"

"We all know the answer to the question, Mr. Green, right? As long as your most important people are still in our hands, you have no choice. Lei Xiaogu said, "But don't worry, I won't let you do something that violates your bottom line, or what you think you shouldn't do." In fact, quite the opposite, I want you to do something that you might be happy to do. ”

"I doubt it."

Lei Xiaogu glanced at Talia.

Talia stepped forward and handed Roy a tablet. On the screen was a photo of Arkham as a prisoner, bald and with several irregular scars on his face, making him look rather hideous and hateful. The photo of his naked back is even more shocking, and the muscles of his body are almost covered with dense scar marks, if there is a long story behind each scar, then the story of his body cannot be told even for a day and a night.

"Victor Zas, a cold-blooded killer." "A madman who kills for a living, and doesn't need any reason, kills for the sake of killing, is like a cold-blooded harvesting machine. Now, this guy is in Arkham City, too, and he's still taking more lives. ”

"I know."

Roy had read the criminal files in the bat computer, and of course knew about Zas.

"So your last test is to find him." Talia put away the tablet and said, "Zas has restarted his killing game in Arkham City, but this time he has changed some new rules. Answer the phone that rings in Arkham City, and if he doesn't answer the phone within the time limit, he'll start killing hostages. Of course, this game is for the pointy-eared detective, though he might be a little busy right now. ”

After a pause, she continued, "Now, your mission is to find Zath's location before Batman, then catch him and bring him here. ”

"What, did he mess with you?"

"If it's the reason, you'll find out if you get him back." "Time may be of the essence though, so I'd suggest you stop dwelling on the irrelevant issues and find Zas, bring him back, and we'll tell you where to go next." (To be continued.) )
